The zip file contains the following files for replicating the analysis in the paper: \
\
1. obscenity_conditional_frailty.R	R source code for estimating the models 						for the obscenity legislation example\
\
2. condfrail_obscenity.dta			Data file (in Stata format) used for 							estimating the models for the obscenity 							legislation example\
\
3. terrorism_conditional_frailty.R		R source code for estimating the models 						for the terrorism example\
\
4. condfrail_terrorism.dta			Data file (in Stata format) used for 							estimating the models in the terrorism 							example\
\
To replicate the obscenity legislation example run obscenity_conditional_frailty.R which uses condfrail_obscenity.dta. To replicate the terrorism example use terrorism_conditional_frailty.R which uses condfrail_terrorism.dta.\
